However, the role of MAFG-AS1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development remains unknown. MAFG-AS1 and miR-147b were determined in AML cells and specimens using qRT-PCR assay. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 analysis and flow cytometry was carried out to measure cell cycle. Luciferase reporter analysis was done to determine the mechanism of MAFG-AS1 and miR-147b. We noted that MAFG-AS1 was overexpressed in AML cells and in serum and bone narrow from AML compared with normal controls specimen. Elevated expression of MAFG-AS1 increased cell growth, cycle and EMT in AML cell HL-60 cell. MAFG-AS1 sponged miR-147b expression in HL-60 cell. Moreover, miR-147b was downregulated in AML cells and in serum and bone narrow from AML compared with normal control specimen. miR-147b was negatively correlated with MAFG-AS1 in the serum and bone narrow of AML cases. We illustrated that HOXA9 was one target of miR-147b and ectopic expression of MAFG-AS1 enhanced HOXA9 expression HL-60 cell. Forced expression of MAFG-AS1 induced cell growth, cycle, and EMT via promoting HOXA9. These data illustrated that MAFG-AS1 acted as one oncogenic gene and accelerated AML progression via modulating miR-147b/HOXA9 axis. 收起
